With the further popularization of coffee and the continuous expansion of consumers, coffee has long been a daily trend, so do you know which country the average person drinks 352 cups of coffee a year? It is also circulated on the Internet that this is a country with "no sleep" and "iced American coffee in the blood"-South Korea.

In South Korea, coffee is considered to be a status symbol of its country, so coffee occupies a very important position in the country, making it the sixth largest coffee consumer in the world. Today, let's briefly discuss the extent to which this country loves coffee ‍.

Recently, after chasing several Korean variety shows, I can't help but marvel at the degree to which Koreans rely on coffee. South Koreans' love for coffee is not only reflected in life, but also integrated into film and television creation. in any Korean variety show, you can see the shadow of coffee, it is no exaggeration to say that Koreans drink coffee more frequently than kimchi and rice.

According to the CCTV financial report, South Koreans consume an average of 352 cups of coffee a year, nearly three times the global per capita sales, that is, Koreans do not drink coffee almost one day a month. It is reported that now you want to walk the streets of South Korea, every "three steps" you can see a coffee shop with the smell of strong coffee, even most of the time next to the coffee shop is the coffee shop, next to the coffee shop or coffee shop. Coffee shops, coffee vending machines can be seen everywhere, and there must be self-service coffee brewing machines in almost every convenience store.

After looking up the data, we learned that the introduction of South Korean coffee culture had a lot to do with North Korea's Wang Gaozong Li Xi. At that time, North Korea was going through the second unrest (at the end of 1980s). In order to avoid the threat of Japan, Gaozong hid in the Russian residence in South Korea. At that time, after the wife of the Russian ambassador invited Emperor Gaozong to have a cup of coffee, his love for coffee got out of hand. After returning home, he began to introduce coffee to South Korea.

Compared with other countries, the introduction of coffee in South Korea is not early, but South Koreans' obsession with coffee is already unimaginable. The price of early coffee was relatively high, so drinking coffee once became a symbol of Korean status. It was not until the emergence of instant coffee that the price of Korean coffee gradually spread among Korean people and became a drink that office workers must drink after meals.

Many people use the metaphor "Koreans drink coffee even if they don't eat" to describe how much Koreans love coffee, so why are they so keen on coffee? I guess it must have something to do with their way of life! A survey of data from a long time ago shows that the average Korean sleeps only 5 hours a day!

The research team of Professor Liu Genying of the Center for Disease Prevention and Prevention of Seoul Medical University released a report in 2014. after tracking more than 10,000 residents in four places for 15 years, they found that the mortality rate of people who slept less than 5 hours was 21%. But the mortality rate of people who slept more than 10 hours was 36%. All in all, the conclusion of this report is: the more sleep, the higher the mortality rate, the less sleep, the better life. This study has also been recognized by many South Korean netizens.

Whether it is because of coffee that Koreans do not like to sleep, or whether Koreans who do not like to sleep fall in love with coffee seems to have become the Korean version of "chicken or egg first". So "do not sleep" day after day, go out every day for a cup of iced American coffee for the work party and student party is really the best choice to refresh and reduce edema.

In China, experts believe that the best sleep time is 7 hours per day, while many netizens even think that 8 hours of sleep is enough, and the mental state of taking a 30-45-minute nap is better. And I think I need to sleep 9 hours a day to achieve my best mental state! Anyway, I can't "don't sleep" like Koreans. In my world, bed equals all 😭! Photo Source: Internet
